Portuguese translation: o leiloeiro começa por pedir/exigir uma solicitação mínima (ou de reserva)

Tech/Engineering - IT (Information Technology) / center
English term or phrase: the center starts by asking for a minimum (or reserve) bid bmin.
It is about game theory, more specifically about auctions:

"The best-known auction mechanism is the ascending-bid,8 or English auction, in
ENGLISH AUCTION which the center starts by asking for a minimum (or reserve) bid bmin."

I am not sure if center should be translated as centro or leiloeiro or if there is a better term for it.
Is the person who ofers o lance inicial.

Thanks a lot

agree  Teresa Cristina Felix de Sousa: Mas o termo "bid" (em português do Brasil), neste contetxo, é "lance"
